This page lists multiple examples of 3DS titles dissappearing from the 3DS Home Screen and provides recommended solutions.
*Titles with gray X's on them, install and run [[3DS:Faketik|Faketik]]
{{info|text=This issue does not affect anything installed as DSiWare, including TwilightMenu++ and games forwarded via nds-forwarder.}}
*Titles appear listed normally, but still missing from Home Menu: use [https://github.com/chalenged/gm9-title-fixer Chalanged's gm9 title fixer] or go to the [https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp Official Nintendo Homebrew Discord] and use the `.tag missingtitles` command. Follow along as instructed.<blockquote>Note: When the 3DS finds missing or corrupted data in the titles folder, it refuses to load the whole folder. the easy solution is to remove said missing or corrupted data. the hard part is finding the data. The gm9 script and the discord command do just that. The `title.txt` looks for any folders that are missing files and tells the user to delete them, which usually brings everything back. However, the title in question is presumably inaccessible and needs to be reinstalled.</blockquote>

*If you run into any issues with the above option, join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and mention that you've tried to use the title fixer script.
 
* Alternatively, you can manually generate a file that describes the contents of your SD, join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}}, and send it in the #bot-cmds channel for further instructions. To generate the file, you will need a Windows/Linux/Mac computer, and a way to access your SD on said computer. If you wish to follow this route, choose your operating system below.

{{info|text=When the 3DS finds missing or corrupted data in the titles folder, it refuses to load the whole folder. The gm9 script and discord command serve to identify the corrupted or missing data.
